JP1 Remotes

That's the same problem I had with my Comcast URC-1067 - I had bought a JP1 cable (USB) from DIYgadget, which of course did not work with my remote (they were great about returns).

As a newbie to this forum, I took great time to make sure of several things:

1. I had read the necessary background info on JP1, RM, and IR.exe.

2. I had spent a month or so before my first post reviewing the threads to see if the answers to simple questions were already at hand (therefore I didn ...

Thanks to everyone for the assistance. I have got almost everything I wanted programmed onto my remote (limited by the lack of discrete codes for some of the inputs on my TV, but these were not critical).

I also got my downstairs system programmed onto a second 1067 remote (cable, HTIB, and Toshiba ...

Well, I got everything working, but can only find discrete codes for the JVC receiver and the Tosh HD-A2.

I can't find any codes specific for the Westinghouse LVM-42w2 TV, so I called one-for-all support and asked about codes for this set. They said the code 0885 was for this TV but that it would ...

Update: Macros work on the device buttons - very easy to set up, and my wife loves it. Can't ask for more than that.

I also put in the JVC-48 code, but have not tested yet. Will do so tomorrow.

I considered putting in discrete on codes for each device at the start of each macro, but decided that ...

Not sure how to do this yet (I'm still learning as I go). I need to set up a new device upgrade file in RM using the JVC-48 protocol, but then how do I set up the device, subdevice, and OBC into that file?

Once that file is done, I copy the upgrade code into IR, then assign it as a new device, then ...

You guys don't sleep much, do you?

I'll try this tonight. Sounds like Kupakai has done what I am hoping to do, so I am optimistic about a successful outcome. I'll assign the few required keymoves to the AUX/PIP buttons, which we never use, and just call on them from there.

I was not able to ...

These are not the power buttons - these are the device selection buttons.

In a recent post ( http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=59315#59315 ) Robman writes the following:

"If you were running an extender, that would be a problem, but in un-extended remotes, when you include a ...

Another quick question - in a macro, I've heard that you can reference the button to which the macro is assigned, and in executing the macro it defaults to the original function of the button (not the macro being programmed). Is this true?

If so, I could assign a short macro to the TV button for ...

We never use the A/B/C buttons, and they are so simply labeled that they won't confuse my wife.

In a macro, do I need to assign each function to a button before writing the macro, or can I simply refernce them by device code and EFC?

Evan:

Thanks for the quick reply. I would have thought that setting up a toggle would be similar to setting up a macro, or maybe by using protocol builder (which I know nothing about yet). Hopefully there is a workaround.

Thanks also for the info on setting up macros - I figured it was simple, but ...

UPDATE:

I finally got my JP1.2 cable. Spent several hours last night making mistakes, but learning from them. By 11 PM I had all of my system components programmed in, including key moves and VPT for the JVC receiver. I still have to add the command that Capn Trips suggested, but I found that I ...

Capn: That is the file. I think I'm following what you're saying - I'll give it a shot tonight.

I won't know if it works until I get the correct cable for my remote, though. In the mean time I'll play around and learn more about IR and RM.

Thanks for the input, guys. I'm sure I'll have more ...

D'OH! I went back to the DIY page, and you are correct - the USB is for JP1, NOT JP1.2 ... OK, there's one thing I need to fix.

Thanks for pointing out what I should have seen immediately.

As for the second question on translating the Pan 34 84 192 into EFC/Hex, any thoughts? At least I can set up ...

RobMan:

The cable is a JP1.2 USB cable from DIY Gadgets. My apologies for not making that clear in my initial post.

My system specs:

Comcast URC-1067 remote
Motorola 3412 STB
Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player

The last component I am trying to add is a new 7.1 SS system (the JVC RX-D412B) which has ...
